Continental competition's method of selecting teams (help)

Hello,

I have created a European super league and a South American superleague. Now I am trying to create a competition that chooses 8 teams from both leagues based on their league position (top 8 teams from the highest league). I've been using the "nations top division teams" option to select the teams but that seems to pick the clubs based on their reputation or something, not actually their league position. Does anyone have any idea how I can create this competition that picks the top 8 teams from each league (based on last years league position).
